PayPal - User Defined Price

  1. eldread

    I'm creating a form for a company that needs the user to be able to enter their own price for a service. They also want to include a invoice number in the form that they will send to the user.

    Is the user define option in the 'product' field? That section is greyed out and I'm unable to select anything. How do I go about making that area selectable?

    Also, I'd like to know how I'd go about adding the invoice number to the PayPal cart.

  2. User defined price is in the drop down for the Field Type when you add a Product (from the Pricing Fields) to your form. Screenshot: http://minus.com/lD1V1l4Cu3zpo

    Is that not available to you?

    Regarding the invoice number, you can use the gform_paypal_query filter to modify or add to the information which is sent to PayPal: http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_paypal_query

    That will require some code be added to your theme's functions.php file to add your invoice number.

    Thanks for the reply, Chris.

    No, the dropdown option is not available to me. Is there something I need to do to activate it?

    Will I only need to modify functions.php? Would I have to add any additional code any gravity form PayPal files?

    Thanks again.

  4. There is nothing specific needed to activate that drop down item. I'm unsure of why it's not available to you. Can you please send me a WordPress administrator login and I will take a look at it? Use chris@rocketgenius.com

    Never modify the plugin or add-on files. All the functionality will be added to your theme's functions.php. Let's get the drop down for user-defined working correctly first.

    I emailed you the login info. Hopefully you can figure it out then we can move to the other issue.

    Thanks.

  6. I duplicated form 2 and the duplicate is form 6. I was able to change the type of product in the drop down without a problem in form 6.

    I was not able to change the type in the drop down in form 2. It was indeed disabled/greyed out. I'm not sure why, but you could always delete the field and add another. Or just delete form 2 and use form 6. Be sure if you are using any functions or CSS that refer to this form by number, update it to form 6, if you go that route.

    Thanks, Chris. I'm using the form you created.

    Can you help me out with invoice issue? Does the code in the link you posted above need to be modified before it's added to functions.php?

  8. @eldread, please start a new topic for adding the invoice number to your PayPal transaction since the original issue is taken care of. Thank you.
